I currently have the exact same issue.
It would be helpful if anyone has any ideas? Otherwise I think some of the SGS's may be developing faults for some unknown reason.
No device is listed under device manager, and when trying to change the USB connection type whilst the phone is connected it let's you do it, instead of giving the usual message about the USB being connected, which to me eliminates any driver issues.
I have tried two different cables to no avail.
I would try pulling down the device logs but is this possible on a non-rooted phone?
i'm running stock JF3 Vodafone firmware.
Cheers,
MiG

so think it may be a trip to service centre once froyo has been released as im running froyo already and dont think it would go down to well surely someone has an idea what the problem is cheers wattsy

If you have a USB cable handy, run/download the Terminal Emulator from Android market, and run the following command: 'logcat'.
After this plug in your USB cable, and see what appears on screen. I don't have my cable with me right now but will try later to see if any attempt at data is made/lost/failed etc.

tried it its currently saying "unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': permission denied im running unrooted jpk 2.2 cheers mig wattsy

Might be an issue with Froyo. Check to see if USB Debugging is enabled in Settings > Applications > Development, although I don't think this is required. I'll have a look later with my own phone if not.

treid both ticked/unticked usb debugging still look forward to your results when ur home. its a shame not even odin will flash a kernel or anything its defo the phone as i tried another on both machines and that works fine cheers mig wattsy

Not entirely sure what it all means but from what I can gather, it seems the USB interface can't get a response?

I think the USB is kaplunked. On trying the AC adapter I get the exact same response through logcat and the plug-type doesn't change. Also, this message concerns me slightly:
Code:
E/MTPRx ( 6175): Not of USB charging. Dont lauch MTP APP
This is saying that the cable plugged in is not USB? Thinking it is on AC?
It could be a firmware issue but I would hazard a guess that the hardware is faulty and reporting the wrong the thing to android.
I'll be taking my phone for repair tomorrow,
Suprised nobody else has got any answers regarding this
Cheers,
MiG

will take mine over too but dont think i should untill froyo is released does me having froyo void my warrenty? if it does then i will wait till its released and send it then if i take it too my local service centre how long will they have my fone for do you think will have to wait as cant flash eclair back without usb lol cheers wattsy1612

Can any of u guys create a script to re-enable the usb interface cheers wattsy
*update so called samsung and was told that this 100% a hardware issue they told me to take it straight to my local service centre for an instant replacement will give another update when i return cheers wattsy

Same problem
I am having the same problem with persistent unknown device. i was also thinking of taking it back to samsung service station. i did once, but the person told me that this is due to humidity. i seriously doubt the intelligence of these people. have you received your sgs back? and is it working?

mine has gone for repair managed to find a way to connect usb and flash with odin the only way to fix this is to send it off will let you know when mines back also mig managed to get his working he just deleted everything off of the internal phone memory that he didnt need restarted the f/s and reboot his was working mine was the same but it suddenly just packed up if i was you id just send it off cheers wattsy

I will be waiting for the news. i was also thinking of the same. in the mean time some food for thought, whenever i connect the device to PC, Settings>About phone>Status shows Charging by AC adopter. whenever the phone is connected to AC adapter, Settings>About phone>Status shown charging through USB. Any coments?

my problem was solved by pulling the phones usb connector slightly towards the screen side of the phone. now it is connecting seamlessly

Hi !
That's the topic I've been looking for !
Here's my story: I've got the genuine Samsung usb cable, and when I plug it between my phone and my computer, I can either choose to mount my phone as a mass storage device, or in KIES mode or .... Usual behaviour ...
In the mean time, the phone gets charged via USB power.
I bought 2 very cheap made in China data usb cable.
None of them let me enter the usb data mode. I mean, both cables can charge my phone, but I can't connect my phone to my computer for data exchange.
So I decided to dismantle one of my cheap data cable. Wiring seems correct, and exactly the same as my genuine Samasung data cable.
Then I decided to slighlty rework the micro usb plug on my cheap data cable with a sharp cutter.
And I discovered something interesting: depending on how I insert the cable in my phone, I sometimes get access to the data exchange mode.
For instance, if I fully insert the cable straight into the phone, it only charges the phone.
But if I partly insert the cable, I the get access to the data mode. And if I want to enter the mass storage mode, I then have to completely insert the cable into the phone for the phone to be properly detected by the computer.
Odd isn't it ?
Does anyone could explain me how the phone detects if it is connected to a charger or to a real data usb cable ?
I've been reading a bit of Android documentation but didn't find anything.
developer.android.com/reference/android/os/BatteryManager.html#BatteryManager%28%29
By the way, when I run logcat from my phone, I get different kinds of message, depending on how I insert my cable:
D/WifiService( 2707): ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED pluggedType: 1
Or
D/WifiService( 2707): ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED pluggedType: 2
As far as I understood, 1 means AC plugged and 2 means USB plugged

my USB Port is a little bit bricked , too.
Kies and Windows just detects the phone after rebooting the phone. after a while mtp-app is beeing launched, but windows don't recognize the phone...
hope the next firmware update will work !

I have a Samsung GT-I9000B and I cant use it using USB.
I have 2 usb cables, I am able to find my friends phones.
Now I cant change rom cause odin cant find it too.
Alog cat shows:
E/MTPRx ( 4020 ) Battery charging. plugType = 1

[Q] Camera problem in IS?

Hello,
I've googled a lot for "dead camera" and found only that there are cases when phone replacement only helped.
Here is what I got from dmesg on phone restart:
Code:
<3>[ 18.292510] starting read retry policy count:17

Does anybody here know if this can be resolved programmatically somehow, or this is completely hardware problem and the phone should be returned back to the shop (this would take a lot of time, though, this is why I'm asking here).
I have tried hardware reset - didn't help.
Thanks beforehand.

I was seeing the same messages in the log on my HTC Glacier, and likely is a hardware failure. Mine just stopped working yesterday -- all camera-related apps would either time out or force close. Tmobile is replacing my phone for me.

[Q] Wifi and Bluetooth Error, is this hardware issue ??

I just spilt some tea on my nexus one, i teared it down, and nothing was wrong from the inside. Unfortunately i broke the power button and the antenna. when i powered on the phone everything was working except wifi and bluetooth. i replaced the antenna but still not able to make wifi work. each time i try to turn it on it gives me an error.
i did dmseg after trying turning on the wifi, and i got the follwoing errors
<4>[32607.377044] wifi_set_power = 1
<4>[32607.377319] mahimahi_wifi_power: 1

<6>[32620.131713] mmc0: Slot status change detected (1 -> 0)
when i try to turn on bluetooth nothing appear in the dmesg command, but still does not work as well.
I tried default factory reset, format /system then reflash the cm 7.1 RC, but still not working..
Also the available space on /system is 10.5 MB.
Radio Version 008
is it hardware issue or software ?? if i change the flex cable part will fix the problem or not.
hopefully somebody can help me to figure out where is the problem.

no body here to help

[Q] Help Me Understand H2testw Results (card memory checker)

I bought a knockoff iPod off eBay a few weeks ago and it came in today. I immediately jumped online to try and find a program that can check the validity of the storage space, to make sure it's truly 16GB as it says it is. I found H2testw, which seems to be the most suggested program.
Anyway, 2 hours later, the test if finally done. I'm not exactly sure how to understand the results and would love if someone could explain it a bit to me. I've never used it, and I'm sure someone on here likely has.
I would greatly appreciate it.
(at first glance it appears it's fake or faulty and is only 7GB, not 16GB as stated but again, I don't exactly know how to understand it)

Yeah, I think it means 7.6GB of actual storage with 8.3GB of corrupt storage meaning the actual capacity is only 7.6GB...at least from what I read from the description on the website for the program I used.

Constant modem issues on Verizon after June 2021 update.

I've been dealing with what appears to be constant modem hangs which bring the data throughput to 0 and is often resolved with toggling airplane mode. I often have major issues with Verizon and their throttling (deprioritization) but this is a different animal. I'm kind of at the end of my rope, just waiting for July and hoping it fixes it.
I've tried flashing May's image but it won't boot and just sits on the G logo and I have to flash back to June. I also tried doing a network settings reset and that did bubkiss other than to make more work for me.
Has anybody else run into this issue, and have a solution, or can at least commiserate?

It truly is unusable.

Flashing just the radio.img from May should work. Don't quote me, though.

I actually did try that it became extremely unstable and would keep killing the data connection every 10 seconds.

I thought I was the only one who had bad service on Verizon all of a sudden, I'm on a12 beta 3 and it is a little better but since June update Ive seen my signal turn to complete crap, I even opened a Google Fi account and it was the same
